1 +2 + baby =3

Well, soon to be big sister Ella.... She weighs as much as big brother Kael and has twice the personality. We are doing well as my belly continues to grow each day!!! I have gained 8 Lbs since quitting weight watchers and am almost 13 weeks pregnant so I am pleased with that. I'm still ill on a regular basis, but nothing like with the last two pregnancies. I think with the help of my obgyn we have been managing it with drugs with greater success than before. With a house full of kids, I don't get the sleep I need but I guess I've signed up for that on my own.... still worth it to be at home raising my own children ..... hopefully with our values and morals.

Kael is doing well and is talking up a storm.... both French and English. Each time I ask if he wants "1 or 2" of something (carrot, sticker etc) he tells me "no mom, six". He talks to his sister regularly, about what I have little idea. He has been going through a rough spot with nightmares but we are finally getting past that. He has started to show interest in the potty.... but more towards the reward for going in the potty!! He tells us when it is cold outside, when the cats are funny and when Ella takes her slippers off. Perhaps he is a future reporter??? I'm just happy he is starting to be more social.

Ella is causing me a little stress.... not just because she is high strung. We have now been referred to an infant opthomologist (however it is spelled) for her eye which seems to becoming lazy because of the continued blocked tear duct. We have been told that the in office procedure will not be enough so we are on a very long waiting list to see a specialist. We've been told we may have to wait up to a year. For now she is on medication and we hope by God's miracle that the duct opens, as a year's wait may result in damage to her eye. Prayers are appreciated.

Thanks to AV for providing the cute photo for this post!! I'll try to find the courage for a few belly pictures sometime soon..... eek!
